TomeAlone reviewed Demon Night by J. Michael Straczynski

I thought it was kind of weak, but it probably would have made a neat movie, unsurprisingly. I guess JMS's real strength is more in screenwriting/comic writing than novel writing. That being said, I'd still give him a few more chances, as I believe this was a debut novel.
The main character seemed a bit underdeveloped with a kind of obligatory romance forced in. The finale was pretty good, which is a reverse of the usual horror trend where the end is frequently the worst part. Still, it's not terrible and can be read pretty quickly.
